"The 13-year-old boy accused of killing his 8-year-old sister, Leila Fowler, will stand trial in March, a judge said Wednesday.Fowler's brother has been held in a juvenile detention facility since May 11, when he was arrested by the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office.The boy -- whose name is being withheld, per his status as a minor -- told investigators he found an intruder inside his home and then discovered his sister stabbed to death.Lawyers told the judge the trial could last three weeks.The boy sat in court in a short-sleeved button-down shirt and looked forward and at his attorney throughout the short hearing.\u00A0His parents sat directly behind him, along with a handful of friends and relatives.The boy's defense attorney said there will be additional hearings in the coming months to exclude evidence.\u00A0Mark Reichel said he will consider asking the judge to bar any evidence that was obtained illegally and could try to limit certain expert witnesses from testifying.After the hearing, Reichel said he likely would not try to keep the boy's statements to investigators out of the trial.\u201CI don\u2019t think there are any statements that he made that really hurt him at all,\" Reichel said. \"He was interviewed a series of times and I don\u2019t think there is anything that really hurts him.\"The boy faces up to 15 years in jail."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
